Andrew Januik "Stone Cairn" Red Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Jeb Dunnuck : 93+ Points

(6/21/23) The 2020 Stone Cairn is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot sourced from a handful of sites on Red Mountain. It's a bigger, richer wine than the more elegant Lady Hawk and has impressive red and black fruits, lots of minerality, notes of Asian spice and lead pencil, medium to full body, and building tannins. Another impressive wine from this talented winemaker, it will have 10-15 years of longevity. Maturity 2023 - 2038.

Decanter : 93 Points

(10/23/23) Aromas of roast fennel, espresso bean and sage give way to a core of deep blackberry fruits. The palate is rich, structured and marked by crushed basalt, savoury herbs and mint. There are streaks of graphite intertwined with notes of gravel, black cherries and cocoa powder. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2032.
